Shortwave Radiogram schedules, Apri 27-30

The first broadcast of Shortwave Radiogram program 45 is today (Friday) at
2030-2100 UTC on 7780 kHz from WRMI Florida. (Although reception tends to be
difficult beyond eastern North America.)

Last weekend's experiment with six modes was interesting. Of the three fast
Thor modes, Thor 100 seemed to be less successful than Thor 50x1 and Thor
50x2. Of course, in difficult reception conditions, our "go to"
MFSK32 mode prevailed over all the faster modes. Zach in Alabama had difficult
reception of the Monday 0800-0830 UTC show, with these results:

The Mighty KBC
transmits to Europe
Saturdays at 1500-1600 UTC on 9400 kHz (via Bulgaria), with the minute of MFSK
at about 1530 UTC (if you are outside of Europe, listen via websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ ). And to North America Sundays at 0000-0200 UTC
(Saturday 8-10 pm EDT) on 5960 kHz, via Germany. The minute of MFSK is at about
0130 UTC. Reports to Eric: themightykbc@gmail.com . See also http://www.kbcradio.eu/ and https://www.facebook.com/TheMightyKbc/. (UTC 6 May KBC's new frequency at
0000-0200 UTC will be 9925 kHz.)

Italian
Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) Five minutes of MFSK32 is at the end of the 30-minute
English-language “Shortwave Panorama,” per the schedule available
here: http://ibcradio.webs.com/

Broad Spectrum Radio MFSK32 might be available Monday 0730-0800
UTC on 5850 and 7730 kHz from WRMI Florida, although I heard only music on
those frequencies on 23 April.
